ePortfolio of a Journey through Master's

An academic journey dedicated to the intersection of public safety, security management, and counterterrororism

Overview

The purpose of this eportfolio is to present the work from my Master's program in a concise source.  My intention here is to provide a reference for future partners and collaborators in my area of professional endeavor, as well as to share some of my work with academic professionals, potential clients, and fellow security professionals who seek, as do I, to continue to professionalize the security field and better protect our clients, our communities, and our nation, and who understand and value the integration of counterterrorism as a security program component.

Introduction

Welcome to my ePortfolio. I am Hiram Libby, a graduate student specializing in security studies at the Henley-Putnam School of Strategic Security at National American University.  This portfolio showcases some of my work in my Master's in Science in Terrorism and Counterterrorism at HPSSS.  The journey has been a long one for me, and it has been both challenging and informative along the way.  As I wrap up my Master's program, I am ready to look to the next chapter for me as a life-long learner.  In addition to the work on my Master's in Science in Terrorism and Counterterrorism that this ePortfolio showcases, I have a few other academic and professional milestones in my history; below is a partial list.
